Mariae, D.G. Angliae, Franciae et Hiberniam Reginae (Mary I)

Francis Delaram

National Gallery of Art

The image is a waist-up portrait of a woman seated in a regal position, facing the viewer. Her facial features are sharp and defined, with expressive eyes, a straight nose, and neutral expression. Her hair is styled tightly under a decorative headdress adorned with pearls and lace trim. She wears an ornate gown with fur trim along the collar and sleeves, embroidered with intricate patterns. One hand is holding a book or pamphlet. The background features an intricately patterned arch with Latin inscriptions framing her figure. The image is stylized with engraving details, typical of a formal portrait from a historical period.
